Christine Roychowdhury studied art at Goldsmith’s college in the 1980’s and this greatly influenced her approach to art and belief that art should work on a both visual and intellectual basis as well as an emotional one.

She was born in Lancashire and brought up within a working-class family and as a woman and she comes at art from that point. She looks at art that is not normally regarded as important that has slipped through the cracks of history which has been predominantly dominated by male points of view. She looks at I look at how relationships between mothers and daughters work both as a power struggle and a support. How women are viewed in society and at work. She works mainly in oils on Canvas with some mixed media. She produces predominantly large-scale paintings looking at viewpoints and figures feature frequently within her work.
